About Elise

Hello,


I am **Élise**, a freelance colorist for 2 years.

I started my career in Parisian post-production studios, which allowed me to build a solid technical background and see a wide variety of projects.
I am now an independent colorist, putting my expertise to use for the color grading of **commercial films**, **corporate films**, **music videos**, and **feature films**.
My clients' profiles are varied; I enjoy working with large production companies like Obvious as much as with individual clients, artists, or associations.

> I work in the studio or remotely. I am equipped with a color grading station that allows me to work in good conditions and ensure smooth follow-up during client sessions.

My color grading services include:

1) **Correction of major issues**: under/overexposure, color cast, noise reduction to obtain a usable image

2) **Harmonization and homogenization**: adjustment of color balance, contrast between different shots and different cameras to unify the film and make it coherent

3) **Creation of a look**: the look will give your film a tone and a unique identity: cinematic look, filmic, clean commercial look, pastel look

4) **Advanced retouching**: facial skin enhancement (blemishes, dark circles, lips, wrinkles), sky enhancement, color replacement (clothing, object, product)

- Optional: shot stabilization, object masking, rotoscoping

My workflow:

1 ) **Briefing**, description of your expectations, sending reference images, schedule, budget
2) Receivingfiles (transfer or hard drive)
3) **Color grading session**, sending stills, back and forth between you and me
4) **Delivery**, final exports and project closure
5) Debrief(optional)

Do not hesitate to contact me,
See you soon!

Remarkable color grading work, both precise, coherent, and profoundly artistic. Each shot was treated with great care, respecting the visual intention of the film while giving it a true aesthetic identity. The colors are perfectly balanced, the contrasts mastered, and the matching between different shots and cameras is flawless. The image gains depth, texture, and readability, while maintaining great subtlety in the highlights and shadows. The color grading fully supports the short film's narrative and emotion, enhancing the atmosphere and art direction without ever being intrusive. One can sense a true understanding of cinematic language, the director's intentions, and the editing rhythm. Very professional, creative, and rigorous work, which clearly elevates the film's quality. I highly recommend!

Élise, in addition to her seriousness and the solidity of her expertise, has a great sense of listening and a good ability to adapt to deadlines. Despite the complexity of the project (6 episodes of a series shot in different environments with varying lighting), Élise found the right working methodology to move forward effectively. Thank you to her.
